Chapter 6: Returning

Lily sat contentedly on the side of the bed, smiling up at the ceiling. Three little flowers were whirling around in different patterns. Lily giggled slightly just as the door opened.

"Hey Lily!" Lily's head whipped to face the door, and the flowers fell down from their place in the air. One landed in her hand, one on the bed next to her, and one landed, much to Lily's amusment, standing straight up in James' hair. Lily laughed hysterically at the sight of a flower growing out of James' head while he struggled to see what was so funny, on his head.

"Hi James!" Lily said laughing as he reached up and plucked the flower from his extremely messy hair. He smiled seeing what it was and walked over to Lily, carefully placing it in her hair. Lily beamed.

"Hey Lils. How're you doing?" Lily smiled excitedly.

"Oh James, it's so exciting! That man, Dumbledore, he came and told me that I was a witch, and James, I remembered!" James looked at her startled, and then smiled happily.

"What did you remember?"

"I remembered the name of the school James! And I sort of remembered being a witch, and then I remembered that I had a wand, but he said that it broke when I fell, and then…" Lily's eyes started to water, and her lip trembled. "And then…" Tears fell down her face in little rivers. "Oh James! I'm so sorry!" Lily threw herself into a surprised James' arms.

"What happened Lily? What did you remember?" He asked softly, soothingly rubbing her back.

"I jumped." She said into his shoulder. "You didn't want me to, and you looked…you just…your face…it hurt James. It really, really hurt." James, assuming that she meant hitting the rocks, made shushing noises in her ear.

"It's alright Lily. It's alright." Lily shook her head, in James' shoulder.

"No it's not! I hurt you! I hurt you so much. Looking at you, and seeing that hurt…it just…it broke my heart James. I didn't mean to James! I didn't mean to hurt you! Please say you'll forgive me!" Lily sobbed into James' shoulder, and James stood there too stunned to reply. Lily looked up at James' surprised face.

"Please, James. Please say you'll forgive me." Lily begged. James looked down at Lily's tear-stained face. "Please." She whispered desperately.

"Of course, Flower. Anything for you." He replied wrapping her in a big hug.

They stayed like that for several minutes before breaking apart. Lily wiped away her tears, and smiled a heart melting smile at James. Then her eyes widened in rememberance.

"Oh James! I almost forgot to tell you! Dumbledore says I'm a sorceress so I don't even need a wand anymore, and I heard the nurses talking about how boys love Quidditch, and I remembered what that is James! And so I've been working on a thank-you surprise." Lily said, all in one breath. James laughed.

"Really? A sorceress? That means you're very important, but we probably shouldn't tell anyone okay? We don't want people to try and use you for their own gain okay?" Lily nodded impatiently, not really paying attention. "Lily, I'm serious. Promise you won't tell anyone unless I say it's okay?" Lily looked at James and sighed in exasperation.

"Okay, okay I promise. Now can we get to your surprise?" Lily asked excitedly. James laughed.

"Of course. On with the surprise." Lily beamed, and then ran over to the vase of daisies on her small nighttable. She grinned at James and plucked three flowers from the vase. She turned around and threw them up in the air, where they slowly started to change.

Suddenly the flowers stopped in mid-air, and with a small pop, there was now, a small red ball, a person on a broom, and a large tall goal post. The small person, who James soon recognized as himself, flew his tiny broom, and picked up the quaffle before speeding to the hoops. He threw the quaffle through with a complicated flourish and zoomed up in triumph. The quaffle and goal post then turned into confetti which sprayed around miniature-James who beamed and waved at the real James, and then at Lily, who waved happily back. Then all the figures turned back into flowers and floated gently to the floor.

James turned to Lily flabbergasted. His jaw open in amazement. Lily blushed and smiled softly.

"Did you like it?" She asked shyly. James gaped.

"Like it? That was bloody amazing! How on earth did you do that? It looked exactly like me, and then that move! It looked so amazing! I have to learn that! And it was so cool, and thank you so much Lily!" Lily beamed.

"So you like it?" Lily asked happily. James turned to her and smiled.

"What's not to like?" He asked looking right at her. Lily blushed.

"What's not to like indeed, Mr. Potter." Dumbledore stepped through the doorway, and gave an appraising look to Lily, who blushed furiously. "That was quite a serious bit of magic. I'm sure Professors McGonnagal and Flitwick would love to know how you accomplished that complicated bit of transfiguration and charm work. Lily bit her lip.

"I just thought about it, how I wanted it to work and such, and practiced it a bit to get the movement down, and it just worked. I don't really know how I did it." Dumbledore smiled kindly.

"That's quite alright. I'm sure you'll have to demonstrate something like that to them though." Dumbledore took a curious looking pocket watch out of his robes, and checked the time. "Now I believe it is time to return to Hogwarts. The teachers have been alerted to your situation, and the students have been told that you suffered a near fatal accident. It would be best if you didn't tell anyone about the real cause of your injuries." He looked quickly at James. "Except for those who are absolutely necessary, of course." Lily smiled at the old professor.

"Oh, James already made me promise to keep it a secret from everybody, unless he told me they were okay." James blushed, slightly under the professor's gaze.

"That was a very wise thing to do James. Now I believe that you, Miss Evans, have a welcome home party awaiting you, back at Hogwarts. Best not keep your friends waiting." Lily smiled, and took James' hand, waving her other hand behind her, to levitate her things which followed her down the hall to the main fireplace. Dumbledore followed a few steps behind the luggage, chuckling slightly at the quick nature in which Lily took to her knew magic.

They stopped in front of the fireplace, where Dumbledore pulled a small red pouch out of his robes. He gave a pinch of the green powder to James and to Lily, who looked at it curiously, before sneezing and dropping it on the ground. Lily looked at Dumbledore sheepishly.

"Oops. Um, sorry about your dust sir." Dumbledore chuckled.

"No matter. I should have realized that you wouldn't know how to use the Floo anyway. You'll just have to double up with James then." James looked apprehensive.

"Are you sure that's safe Professor?" Dumbledore eyes twinkled happily.

"Of course it's safe. You will just have to keep a tight hold on each other, and stay really, really close together. Ready?" James could swear he saw a smirk on Dumbledore's face and Lily giggled at the immense twinkle in his eyes.

James led Lily into the fireplace who looked around serenely and wrapped her arms around his waist, pressing her body firmly against his. James smiled down at Lily, and snaked on arm around her, and with the other arm threw the Floo powder into the fireplace.

"Headmaster's Office, Hogwarts. Pass key, Lemon Drops!" The two teens disappeared in a flash of green fire, and shortly thereafter Dumbledore dissapparated with Lily's things in tow.

Two teens flew out of the fireplace and landed on a crumpled heap on the floor, bodies still firmly entwined, much to the amusement of their Headmaster and all the portraits along the walls. They slowly and shakily stood up and brushed themselves off, Lily brimming with excitement.

"That was amazing! You know I don't think I've ever done that before, because I know I'd remember if I did!" She babbled happily. James chuckled, and Dumbledore's eyes twinkled cheerfully.

"Well Miss Evans, I'm certainly glad that you enjoyed that, and hope that you have several more opportunities to experience that in the future if you so wish." Lily smiled happily.

"Oh me too." James grinned.

"Now I believe that you both have a party to attend, do you not? You had best be off then, and enjoy what your friends have prepared for your homecoming Miss Evans. And then on Monday you shall resume going to classes again. If you have any questions feel free to ask James as he will in fact be with you everywhere you go. Now go on and enjoy yourselves, and here take some lemon drops as a get-well present." Dumbledore held out a small bag of lemon drops to Lily who accepted them gracefully, before immediately popping one into her mouth.

"Thank you sir! These are some of my favorites."

"Your welcome Miss Evans. It's nice to finally meet someone who shares my fondness for such a delicious candy. Well, off with you then."

"Good-bye sir." James said, taking hold of Lily's things and steering her out of Dumbledore's office. From where they happily headed to the homecoming party.
